Review: Van Gogh Wild Appel Vodka
Van Gogh Wild Appel vodka was the first apple flavored vodka when it was introduced in 2002. Appel is the Dutch spelling of apple, not the result of my over sampling. Van Gogh starts with a blend of wheat, corn, and barley that is double distilled in small batches in a column still, and then distilled again in a pot still. Purified water is blended to reduce to the proper proof level. Ripe green apples organically grown in Holland’s uncultivated orchards are double infused for six weeks before bottling at 70 proof. The image on the bottle is that of Vincent Van Gogh’s, The Apple Workers. Read more
